I came up with this keto corn dog muffins recipe sort of by accident. I was making keto cornbread, and my kids were begging for hot dogs while we were stuck at home… and I thought, what about low carb corn dogs? I didn’t have any sort of molds, but I did have mini muffin tins. And so, these mini corn dog muffins were born! The first time I made these keto corn dogs, I didn’t even have my camera handy. But they were so good that I snapped a photo on my phone – it went crazy in our keto support group and I knew I had to post them on the blog ASAP. They make a perfect snack, meal, or even appetizer… for the kids and for you! Serve them up with some keto-friendly ketchup and mustard.
How To Make Keto Corn Dogs
Here’s how to make these adorable keto corn dogs the easy way, using a mini muffin tin:
Prep mini muffin pan. Line the muffin pan with 24 cupcake liners. Make the keto corn dog batter. In a medium bowl, make 1/3 the recipe of this keto cornbread batter. (You don’t have to calculate, just use the amounts on the recipe card below.) It will be thick.
Assemble keto corn dog bites. Transfer the batter into the muffin pans. Cut hot dogs into 6 pieces and insert one piece into the center of each mini muffin.
Bake. They are done when top is golden brown.
